I have worked here for 6 years, since the elementary school opened, originally as the 3rd-5th reading facilitator and now the Reading Specialist. Though my opinion may be biased, I absolutely love this school. It has changed my thinking and learning as a facilitator of knowledge. I have felt supported and trusted as a professional to develop my craft and to become the best educator I can be. To follow my students lead in developing the knowledge they need. Through inquiry, I have seen children take charge of their learning, find their voice and confidence, and grow in ways we don't normally consider in schooling - as people in a community. The highest compliment I have ever received from a parent is, \He thinks differently now. He asks more questions.\ To teach children to think is the best education we can give them. To trust them with the power of their own learning is the best gift we can give them. Belong. Find Joy. Be Great. -. More than just words.

We are proud to call AFIA our school community. We love the innovative teaching styles, the inquiry-based education, and the excellence that all school staff bring each and every day. Our school leadership continually develops new and better ways to educate our children to be 21st century leaders, not just students. Our pandemic teaching strategy has allowed for families to make individual choices to meet each students’ needs, and the level of communication has been exceptional this entire time. Our new grading strategy of standards based learning just makes sense as it allows multiple paths for a student to demonstrate what they know, can do and are becoming during the learning process. We look forward to both of our children continuing at AFIA all the way through graduation!
Last year my child had Ms. Neill and he was more productive/successful than ever before. This year she is not a teacher there and his desire to learn is gone. She is a special person and allowed my child to have a premium educational experience. We want Me. Neill back. She turned this school into a top notch learning facility and without her, it is not nearly as great. -Dr. Hill
My child is now a senior at AFIA. The best school for learning on a whole new level. I love that it is technology based and allows students to work at a pace best suited for them while allowing a chance to allow to explore more options. Dual classes via UT Austin are a plus via OnRamps is my child's favorite. The head of schools has been fabulous especially during distance learning. You will not be disappointed in this non traditional school.
My middle schooler transferred from public school early 2020. Pandemic hit. The school was incredibly helpful with online programs and reached out often to ensure communication was provided. In the short amount of time my child was present she has been the happiest I have ever seen her. The school is unconventional as it allows the child to work in an environment best suited to them. This is not your cookie cutter school that forces children to sit at a boring desk and zone out. I look forward to seeing my child grow and becone more independent.
